    I have never watched the anime, nor read the manga. Really loved this season, the characters, acting , photography, even the special effects are great for such an adaptation. Can't wait for the next season to come up.

    As a livelong fan of One Piece (20 years) I couldn't have hoped for a better adaption.
    The love and care that was put into this show and its beloved characters is present in every episode.
    An absolute joy to watch!

    How can some rate this good anime adaptation so poorly? It may not be perfect, but you can't please all fans 100% either. But it's close and better than the anime in my opinion. I was amazed, laughed and even had a few tears in my eyes. So for me it's a 10.
    Also CGI and especially the music was really good for a series. I hope for more. I want to see Nico Robin and Chopper. :)

    The respect for the show is there, the story is not 1:1, but that's ok as long as they respect the characters origin. You can clearly see, how the actors try to give a good performance and I even see some having fun with their characters. The chemistry between the crew is ok (could be better, but good enough).

After I watched the 2 first episodes at a friends home I paid for my 1st Netflix sub. If we get more seasons, which I hope, please don't to a Witcher on us. Thank you.

    Edit: Just finished the show and I must say of all the fails I imagined to happen this surely was on the list, but somehow Netflix pulled it off. The actors really give their all, be it the main crew or side chars. Especially Buggy is a joy to watch. The respect towards the original work is present. Kudos to everyone involved. It's not perfect but for LA One Piece, it's incredible how close it gets.

    Quite a charming adaptation of a classic manga. The cast fit the characters well while giving them more life-like qualities, especially the Straw Hat Pirates. Reminds me of Pirates of the Carrabeans mixed with the One Piece anime.

    Not a fan of the original anime, but this series just works: absurd comedy and drama about pirates and agents fighting for one last treasure. The action is memorable, the characters are funky, and they don't try to reinvent them.

    I'll admit I've never watched the anime or read the manga for this before, I saw that the anime was over 900 episodes long and dipped out, but be that as it may the characters were extremely fun, had great chemistry and was just instantly likeable, I very much enjoyed this show and I'm eagerly waiting for a second season.

    What we wanted for a live action adaptation? cool fights? nuclear explossions? There is only one right answer. We want characters.

We wanted Luffy, Zoro and Nami, and who knows maybe we even wanted Axe hand Morgan and Helmeppo. The live action adaptation allows the actors give the characters deep and emotions anime still cant just cut yet. For example when nami told Luffy she hates pirates, on just a second gives so much info on the character than anime nami could on the whole orange town arch (and one piece its a great anime for sure). And this goes to the fights too. (Btw love see more of nami fighting. On later arcs she became quite powerful by her own right so is cool on this reimagination to see more from her on the beggining). From Luffy like just playing and toying with his oponents to zoro, always serious but like his oponents not worthy of him while nami giving her absolute best. Its amazing how the fights are not only fan service but also character work that push the story forward.
    One piece again becomes the standard now for what you have to do to make a cool live adaptation of already cool anime.

Mi favorito por lejos es Iñaki, pero hay que decir que Emily y Mackenyu se roban muchas escenas. En resumen es una historia dinámica, divertida y con gran corazón, los personajes son entrañables y te importa lo que les pase. AME como adaptaron el mundo de One Piece a la realidad, en el sentido que muchas cosas que son de "caricaturas" o muy "locas" de la historia de Oda Sensei tienen sentido en este mundo único.

    Netflix had the difficult task of making a Live Action on a deeply cartoonish universe. That is to say that it is not only a question of rendering a few superheroes well in a realistic universe but rather of re-creating the entire fantastic universe of One Piece (the islands, the boats, the fish men, the particular style of iconic secondary characters and pirates).

    Another problem that presented itself to them was to manage to keep the spirit of the manga with 5 times less viewing time. It is precisely here that the term re-adaptation makes sense. It is by reorganizing the events that they succeed without time acceleration mechanics (like 5 days later, etc.) in preserving the logic of the story, presenting the dreams and the story of each person, the elements which pushes them and their relationships to evolve, while being fluid and natural.

    5 stars because although I had no doubt that the aficionados were going to have the best time overall. I didn't think the series was going to succeed in conquering the Grand Line. I have the impression that Luffy makes everyone smile!!

    It is good enough. If you are a fan of original you are going to like it. If you are new to one piece, it can be bit confusing, but I think you could still get hooked anyway. Unfortunately if you never watch any anime at all, then it is probably not for you because of many over the top actions that does not have to be everyones cup of tea.

    Finally, Netflix delivers manga/anime adaptation in complete piece! The story, characters acting, and visuals are excellent. The only drawback is the action and fighting sequence feel kinda slow and sterile, so it needs major upgrade for the next season.

    Lo que todo fan del anime/manga podía desear. Vestuario, casting, banda sonora, fidelidad. Es una delicia y Iñigo es mi Luffy sin dudarlo.

What I find uncanny is that One Piece has a very eclectic, and unique looking characters and the fact that they can find casts that are so authentic looking is a freat feat itself. This project bode very well for future anime adaptations in the future.

    I had low expectations because it's a live action series, but this one really surprised me with how well it told the story of One Piece. The actors are phenomenal.

The actors of Zoro, Sanji, Mihawk and Buggy really managed to bring their characters to life. Even Helmeppo was a likeable character and grew towards the end of the season. I liked how the story was adapted for a modern audience without breaking too much of the original storyline. The overall mood was suitably silly and humorous to keep a twinkle in the eye amidst all the fighting and sadness. Just right to be called One Piece. I'm really happy that this was produced, and I'm really looking forward to the next season. Expand

    The genuine silliness of the original manga is there, and the main characters are incredibly convincing. At least in the first few episodes, the sets and costumes don't always seem up to par with the production, but luckily they're not the most important factor in enjoying this series.

    tldr: I loved it, genuinely and wholeheartedly.

    As a long-time One Piece fan, I am very happy with the outcome. It isn't perfect, and it doesn't beat the original manga - but it shouldn't, to be honest. It handles its mission of adapting and introducing people to the world of One Piece pretty well. All in all, it's a good experience, a fun and silly one, while retaining its seriousness

It handles its mission of adapting and introducing people to the world of One Piece pretty well. All in all, it's a good experience, a fun and silly one, while retaining its seriousness where it has to be, and it succeeds, to my picky fan's eye, to encapsulate the beginnings of Straw Hats' journey.
    Yes, sometimes what fans deem important does not align with writers' choices, and there are things to nitpick and argue about. But I can tell the producing staff showed their love for the story and the world and did the best they could. At the very least, my hopes were justified, and my fears were dispersed. Do not forget the original story for this arc was written in late 90s, and by Japanese author. Adapting this to the modern and specifically western audience can be a challenge.
    I liked how it turned out, and I fell in love with my favorite characters again, found more interest in characters I didn't pay much attention back in the day, and if it isn't the purpose of new re-adaptations, I don't know what it is.
    The characters stayed true to their origins with some changes, the story is remixed and adapted to be more concise and inertwined. There is more context, and some scenes added in were a decent trade for the scenes that were cut. The inclusions of some - not spoilering - plotlines are also seem justified and even for the better, if we're going further with it.

    This show is not a remake, but a live action representation. There are certainly some disappointments, but overall the drama is very satisfying.

It might not be your cup of tea, but go with an open mind and try a couple of episodes. You might be pleasantly surprised. And if so, try the manga. There are very few people I've met who regretted starting the journey :) Expand

    Was expecting it to be complete utter trash, but it had all my memberries going and honoured the first 50ish episodes of the anime quite well.

    Although the adaptation rushes quite a lot of content from the anime/manga, it does work to an acceptable degree.

    I've been reading/watching One Piece since childhood and judged the series to be nearly impossible to bring to the TV, but Netflix actually managed to make it work without entirely disrupting its content.

    One Piece was fun. The story is quite refreshing and full of idealism, mostly positive. You have some great emotional moments. The acting is variable. The main character is believable.

    I’ve been watching anime since the 80’s but never seen One Piece or read the manga, and attempts of live action anime, are almost always terrible - so I was cautious.
    That said, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this from episode 2 onwards. Looking forward to more.

    TL;DR - Never watched the anime, but I think I am glad I did not. OP has great characters, an infectious energetic and positive Main Character or MC as we call them in our little weeb world and the right mindset of wanting to tell a good story over all the nonsense that plagues modern media these days.

    TL;DR - Never watched the anime, but I think I am glad I did not. OP has great characters, an infectious energetic and positive Main Character or MC as we call them in our little weeb world and the right mindset of wanting to tell a good story over all the nonsense that plagues modern media these days.

    The Good

    I cannot stop feeling charged up every time the MC yells over the top of his lungs, or says it with quiet resolve "I will be the King of the Pirates." Luffy is one character that has always aluded me in my anime watches, the anime show's color palate was always a little too psychedelic for my enjoyment so I never got around to watching it. But in retrospect I think it works out well, Nami, Sanji, Zoro, Usopp, Buggy Grandpappy Garp and most of the extended cast were amazing to experience for the first time. After the Live action show I even tried to go back to the anime and see if my taste has imporved, but even though I knew what was going on the color was still a little too in my face, and now I fully admit after all these years of shunning OP, this was a 'Me' problem.

    Buggy was my favourite character in all of the show, and I am glad we are going to be seeing more of him, since I am not well versed with the story line I do not know if he joins the gang but I would like to see him as a returning character. The character was brought to life with a surprising amount of menace and silliness that somehow works. All in all, the slightly realistic feel of the Live action seems to have done wonders for my appreciation for one of the legendary anime I have all these years left untouched, however as Netflix tends to cancel good shows I will pray to the heavens that they realize they have a very serious contender in the OPLA to keep viewers around for a long long time, I will be one to stick around as well.

    The Bad

    Very little here is what I would call bad, a few nitpicks here and there, one stand out of 'could be done better' was Luffy's Gum Gum powers, they keep going into the uncanny valley at times. But it seems to work with the not taking things seriously vibe that the show generally caries, still, a little more in the effects department, maybe a blend of practical and cgi will work wonders.

    Conclusion
    I can happy call myself a One Piece fan finally after more than a decade of being an Anime fan, the story of One Piece is finally begin for me and I will try and not spoil myself either through manga or the anime so I can experience this through the Live Action medium which is a shock to me considering the failures of LA anime's we have been served in the past.
    The curse is hopefully finally broken.

    The part where the show fails is in the character building and the impactful moments. While the anime brought me to tears in several moments, the live action is not able to reach that as you don't feel very connected to their stories. I hope they can improve on that if there is a second season.
    I also feel that they focused too much in tertiary characters like Coby and Buggy that are barely important in the main story.
    It is still a very good adaptation and I hope it is renewed, I just don't think it will capture the attention of anyone but the fans.
